Trying to find location of a captured plane

Hello,

I have two original wartime photos of the same German Fw 190 from different sources. At least one different photo of the same aircraft has been published before. The problem I am having is that all three sources indicate a different location:

- Published: Lippstadt, Germany
- 1st original photo, hand-written wartime caption: Namur, Belgium
- 2nd original photo, hand-written caption, maybe postwar: near Duesseldorf

The original photos were taken by members of:
  • 198th General Hospital
  • 118th AAA Battery
I am now trying to find the different locations of these units during WWII, which should help determine which of the three places was the most possible one.

Does anybody know where best to find such information (online source, forum?).

Thanks,
Roger
